If you've been enjoying our content, you know that a lot of work goes into our stories and although it may be a work of passion, writers gotta eat. If just half our readers gave 1 DOLLAR a month, one measly dollar, we could fund all the work from StuChiu, DeKay, Emily, Andrew (and even Vince). If you contribute 5 DOLLARS a month, we invite you to join our Discord and hang with the team. We wouldn't bother you like this if we didn't need your help and you can feel good knowing that 100% of your donation goes to the writers. We'd really appreciate your support.

“Rami was one of the players I really wanted to pick up for the team, right from the start when I first got hired by P1” Phoenix1 coach Charlie Lipsie said in the tweet. “To Inori, I know you’re not part of the team now, but you know you’re always welcome at my house.”

Inori was one of two players left from Phoenix1’s roster last summer and one of the key players around which the team wanted to build, as co-owner Michael Moore told Slingshot in February. Although visa issues plagued Inori and only allowed him to play half a split, Moore said that he still showed “a lot of potential.”

“My league ID before joining P1 was actually ‘Liquid Inori’ so I think it’ll be cool to finally go by that tag for once,” Inori said in a statement. “I’m excited to work with Steve and Cain — I think Cain is an amazing coach and I look forward to working with him.”
